INTRODUCTION. 



Do you know that you live in tlie midst of one of the most 
charming regions in this country ? Travellers unite in the opin- 
ion that there can nowhere be found scenery more beautiful 
than that around our city. 

Jenny Lind, enraptured by its loveliness, lingered here many 
months, and gave it the title, "Paradise of America." In "Pic- 
turesque America" you may read — " The scenery along the river 
if possible grows more charming as we advance. The hills as- 
sume the name of mountains. We have reached Northampton, 
in all respects one of the most beautiful villages in this or in 
any other land, situated on the west side of the Connecticut, 
on rising ground, about a mile from the river." 

Beecher writes in "Norwood," — "Look with my eyes, good 
reader, upon the town of Norwood, that, refusing to go down 
upon the flat bottom-lands of the Connecticut, daintily perches 
itself upon the irregular slopes west, and looks over upon that 
transcendent valley from under its beautiful shade trees, and 
you will say that no finer village glistens in the sunlight, or 
nestles under arching elms." 
In Kathrina, Holland speaks of Northampton, as 
" Queen village of the meads, ' 
Froutiug the sunrise and iu beauty throued. 
With jeweled homes arouud her lifted brow 
And coronal of ancient furest trees — 
Northampton sits and rules her pleasant realm. 
There, where the saintly Edwards heraldea 
The terrors of the Lord, and men bowed low 
Beneath the menace of his awful words ; 
' And there where Nature with a thousand tongues. 
Tender and true, from vale and mountain top 
And smiling streams, and landscapes piled afar, 
Proclaimed a gentler gospel, I was born." 

There is no uninteresting scenery around our city. Here, and 
in the surrounding towns, are beautiful streets, shaded by fine 
elms of great age, and pleasant river and meadow drives. 
The views from Mts. Holyoke and Tom, for cultivated beauty, 
cannot be surpassed, and within twelve miles of our city are 
accessible hills, 500 feet higher than Mt. Holyoke, or as high as 
the village of Bethlehem in the White Mountains. 



IV 



I have been surprised to learn how little many people here 
know of the scenery so near at hand. I have taken old resi- 
dents on short drives, within four miles of the center of our 
city, and have been astonished to hear them say, " I have never 
been here before, I did not know of any such place." This is 
my reason for writing up these drives. Though not professing 
to know more about the drives around us than some others, yet 
being familiar with many of them, and somewhat of an enthu- 
siast about the beauty and picturesqueness of our scenery, I 
have tried to lay out plainly the paths in which I have found 
much pleasure and profit, hoping that they may be of help to 
others. Take your team, if you have one, if not, hire one, fol- 
low the directions as here given, and see what there is around 
you. Suppose that this year, instead of spending your money 
at some well advertised place of resort, j'ou spend the same 
amount in driving or riding through Western Massachusetts. 
You will see more beauty and perhaps as much grandeur, gain 
£is much in health, enjoy yourself better, and learn something 
of your own surroundings. 

The Maps. — The County map is made up from the surveys made 
by the State at an expense of several hundred thousand dollars. 
It has lately been revised for this work and is now very nearly 
correct. I call attention to one error viz : — the words Mass. Cen- 
tral R. R. ought not to have been printed against the extension 
of the New Haven & Northampton R. R. in the towns of Whately 
and Deerfleld. 

On the Northampton and Easthampton map are figures against 
the roads, they indicate the distance in rods from one road to an- 
other. On this map are shown the meadow roads which afford 
pleasant drives but are not written up in detail. 



"But oil and up, where Nature's heart 
Beats strong amid the hills." 

— Lord Hmighton. 



,%fr ^7t 




There are six leading 
roads from the center 
of Northampton. Elm 
Street leads west to Flor- 
ence, turning to the right 
from Main street at Smith College. 
King Street leads northwest from 
Main, between the Court House and 
the First National Bank building, to 
Hatfield, Whately, Greenfield, etc. 
Bridge Street extends from Main 
at the railroad crossing and leads northeast to 
Hadley, Amherst, and Boston. Pleasant 
Street leads from Main, directly opposite 
King, southeast to South Hadley, via Hocka- 
nuni Ferry. South Street leads from Main, 
opposite the Mansion House, southeast to East- 
hampton and Springfield. West Street leads 
soutJiwest to Loudville, Westhampton, Hunt- 
ington, etc., turning to the left from Main street 
at Smith College, and again to the left after a 
few rods, at the top of the hill. 

Besides those already named, there are cross 
roads, a few miles out, which it is well to 
know, as follows: — at Pine Grove School 
House, Roberts Meadow, West Farms and 
Kingsley's Bridge. 



6 

Wherever Mountain street is named, it re- 
fers to tiie nearly straight road in the eastern 
part of Williamsburg, shown plainly on the 
County map, lying between Horse Mountain 
and Beaver brook ; it is a little more than one 
mile long. Though the name Mountain street 
is applied to quite a district in eastern Wil- 
liamsburg, I have used it only as above, and in 
that connection shall refer to it often. The road 
from the southern end of Mountain street, over 
Horse Mountain to a pond in Hatfield, is used 
very little. 

Hospital Hill or Hospital grounds refer to the 
State Lunatic Hospital, the Dickinson Hospital 
not being mentioned. 



No. 1. 

TO PINE GROVE SCHOOL HOUSE. 

Drive tlirough West street to the top of Hos- 
pital Hill. A few rods after passing the gate 
to the Hospital gi-ounds the road divides ; bear 
here to the left, then keep the direct road. Af- 
ter passing the ice house and ascending the hill, 
the road again divides ; bear here to the right, 
and a drive of one-half mile brings you to Pine 
Grove Sphool House, a brick building on your 
right where the roads cross. This is an impor- 
tant |)oint, because roads lead from it in seveial 
directions, as you will see on the Northampton 
and Easthampton map. The road from North- 
ampton, on which you have come, continues to 
Loudville, Westhampton, Huntington, etc. 
The road to the right leads to Florence ; that 
to tlie left divides after a few rods, the right 
leading to Park Hill and the left to Easthamp- 
ton. Two and three-quarter miles each way ; 
no railroad crossing. 



TO ROBERTS MEADOW. 

Drive through Elm street to Florence; pass 
through Florence and ci'oss eitiier iron bridge. 
To reach the upper bridge, turn to the left at 
Cosmian Hall ; to reach the lower bridge, take 
the road past the Congregational Church and 
school house. If you cross the upper bridge, 
keep the straight road ; if you cross the lower 
bi'idge, bear to the right as soon as you cross 
the bridge, and you will soon enter the road 
from the upper bridge. After rhat, bear to the 
left, rejecting all roads leading to the right. 
Passing over Roberts Hill you cross the bridge 
over Roberts Meadow brook at the foot of the 
hill, drive tlirougli the meadow, cross another 
bridge, and 3011 are at Roberts Meadow, which 
consists of a few houses at the crossing of the 
roads. The road on which you have come con- 
tinues to VVesthani])ton and ChesterHeld ; the 
road to the right leads to Williamsburg ; that 
to the left to West Farms. Roberts Meadow 
is shown plainly on the Northampton and 
Easthampton map, just nortliwest of Roberts 
Hill, and on the County map northwest of Saw 
Mill Hills, wheie the red dotted line begins. 
Five miles each way ; no railioad crossing. 



Jfo. 3. 

TO WEST FARMS. 

West Farms is a small village scattered along 
the road which leads south from Roberts 
Meadow for more than two miles. To reach 
this place, drive to Roberts Meadow as in No. 
2, then turn to the left. Or, drive to Pine Grove 
School House as in No. 1, then keep the straight 
road about two miles and turn to the right at the 
first cross-road. The distance by way of Roberts 
Meadow is seven miles ; by way of Pine Grove 



8 

School House, tive and one-half miles. There is 
one road which crosses this West Farms road, 
about one-third of a mile north of the chapel. 
The eastern section soon divides; the left bianch, 
well travelled, leads to Florence ; the other 
branch, nearly straight, is grass grown, in poor 
repair and difficult of passage with a top car- 
riage, but is used some. It leads to Northamp- 
ton over Hospital Hill and is a pleasant wood 
road. The western section, after about a mile, 
is impassable, having been discontinued, but 
is a pleasant road for this distance, and picnic 
parties sometimes avail themselves of it. No 
railroad crossing. 



No. 4. 

TO KINGSLEY'S BRIDGE, LOUDVILLE. 

Drive to Pine Grove School House as in No. 
1, then keep the direct road, crossing but 
one road (the West Farms road) ; about one 
mile beyond this road you cross Kingsley's 
Bridge, high above the river. The road on 
which you have come continues to Huntington 
The road to the right leads to Westhampton 
center, and the road to the left leads to Loud- 
ville and Southampton. Plainly shown on the 
Northampton and Easthampton map, in the 
southwest corner of Northampton, the name S. 
Kingsley being on the map near the bridge. 
Shown also on the County map on the dotted 
line of road from Northampton to Westhamp- 
ton. Six miles each way ; no railroad crossing. 



Xo. 3. 

TO HATFIELD. 

Drive through King street and keep the di- 
rect road ; after crossing the high bridge over 
the railroad, turn sharply to the right ; one 
mile from this bridge, where the road divides, 
bear to the right, and after crossing two rail- 



9 

roads keep tlie direct road to Hatfield. The 
village is on the bank of the Connecticut river; 
the name Hatfield on the County map is at the 
railroad station, two miles west of the village. 
The road is shown on the County map by a 
red dotted line, which begins and bears to the 
right Just above the bend in the Connecticut 
river north of Northampton. In returning, at 
the lower end of the street on whicii the churcli 
is located, turn to the right, the straight road 
will take you into the meadows. The change 
in the roads at the high bridge over the railroad 
is shown on the County map, but was not cor- 
rected on the Northampton and Easthampton 
map. Five miles each way ; four railroad cross- 
ings each way. 



J«o. 6. 

TO WHATELY. 

Drive as in No. 5, to where the road divides, 
one mile beyond the railroad crossing ; here 
keep the direct road and jon will soon pass the 
camp meeting grounds. After crossing two 
roads in the next two miles the road divides ; 
bear here to the left and then keep the direct 
road to Whately. Shown on tlie County map 
by a red dotted line beginning at the bend in 
the Connecticut river, north of Northampton, 
and extending due north. In returning, after 
crossing the bridge at VVestbrook, be sure and 
take the Northampton road shown by the red 
dotted line (guide board here). Eight and one- 
half miles each way ; two railroad crossings 
each way. 



Ko. 7. 

TO HADLEY. 

Drive through Bridge street, cross the bridge 
over the Connecticut river and keep the direct 
road. The Central Mass. railroad track is par- 
allel with this road and quite near it most of 
the way, but does not cross it at any point. 
Two and one-half miles each way.

TO AMHERST. 



Drive to Hadley as in No. 7, and keep tlie 
direct road, crossing tlie raiiioad a few miles 
beyond Hadley. Shown on the County map 
by a red dotted line, beginning at tlie bridge 
over the Connecticut river and passing through 
the center of Hadley. Seven and one-(|uarter 
miles each way. 



JVo. .9.

reaching Smiths Ferry. At Smiths Ferry sta- 
tion turn to the left across the railroad, cross 
the rivei' by the ferry, then turn to the left, and 
after crossing the brook, bear to the right to 
South Hadley. Shown on the County map by 
a red dotted line. Six miles each way. 



11 

This is a bad road for a liorse tliat is afraid 
of the cars. Yoii avoid nuioli of the railroad 
and get liner views, but increase the distance 
one and three-qnarter miles by continuing on 
South street, after crossing tlie bridge, until 
you I'each Fort street, wliich is the fourth street 
leading to the left from South, after ascending 
the second hill. Drive through Fort Street

a beautiful drive of two miles along the river 
bank, coming into Haydenville on the west side 
of the river. Six miles each way. Or, go to 
Haydenville by No. 13 and return by No 12. 
Twelve miles. Cross the railroad twice each

road up the hill and a drive of four and one- 
half miles brings you into Williamsburg. 
This is a beautiful drive, a half mile longer 
than the common road. No. 14, but it is a bet- 
ter road with less travel and away from the 
railroad. Eight and one-half miles each way.

No. 17. 

FOURTEEN AND ONE-HALF MILES 
DRIVE. 

Drive as in No. 16, to the mountain 
I'oad from Holyoke, and instead of tuining to 
the left to Easthampton, cross the mountain 
road, tui'ning to the right at the school house 
on the mountain road. Follow this I'oad a lit- 
tle more than two miles, passing two roads to 
the left (not including the road a few rods from 
tlie school house), and turning to the left at 
the next road. After crossing the railroad and 
Manhan river, at the first division in the road, 
near a large house, bear to the right to North- 
am|)ton, through the meadows. Shown on 
the Northampton and Easthampton map.

sion (Mountain sti-eet). Drive nearly three 
miles to a house on the right side of the road, 
at about the highest part of the road over the 
range to Holyoke. For this house see "J. 
McMahon" on the Northampton and East- 
hampton map, at the lower end of the Mt. Tom 
range. From this point walk up to the sum- 
mit. It is not difficult to climb, and when 
you reach it you stand on an elevation 1,214 
feet above the sea level, and 260 feet higher 
tiian Mt. Holyoke. Walk along on this ridge, 
which on the northwest side is nearly perpen- 
dicular, for a quarter of a mile, and see if 
tlu^e is not grandeur as well as beauty here. 
The view is extensive in all directions, including

A little nearer way to reach this point is to 
drive on South street to Fort street ; then drive 
through Fort street and the meadows about 
two miles, until you reach a house where the 
road divides, turn here to the left and you 
will soon cross Manhan river and the railroad.

road turn to the right, now keep the direct 
road which winds along at the foot of the Mt. 
Tom range (take no road to the right) ; turn to

as described in No. 1 ; follow it until you 
reach the large house and barn on the I'iglit at 
the top of the hill (see "E. Searle" on North- 
ampton and Easthampton map). At tliis point 
you get a very fine view of Pomeroy mountain 
and the Manlian river valley. Turn here to 
the left or go on to the next road to the left be- 
fore turning ; follow either of these roads about 
one and one-lialf miles and after passing a 
School house you enter the road from South- 
ampton to Easthampton, on the west side of

Ko. 3.1. 

MANASSAS GAP, or NOTCH DRIVE. 

Drive to Hockanum Ferry and pass around 
the southern end of the Mt. Holyoke range as 
in No. 9, then instead of turning to the right, 
keep the direct road for about two miles, and 
take the second road to the left. This road is 
a little indistinct on the County map, as it fol- 
lows the black dotted boundary line between 
South Hadley and Granby. Keep the direct 
road which bears to the left (take no roads 
leading to the right), and you will pass through 
the Notch or Gap in the Mt. Holyoke range ; 
after descending the mountain slope, turn to 



23 

the left at the first road, which is the "Bay 
road," thence to Northampton. Eighteen 
miles. Railroad crossings in Northampton.

Nos. 40, 41, 4',', 43. 

BAY ROAD DRIVES. 
The "Bay road," or the old stage road from 
Northampton to Boston, affords delightful 
drives. After crossing the bridge over the Con- 
necticut river, take the first road to the right, 
not many rods beyond the bridge. This road 
crosses the lower part of Hadley streets, and 
runs along at the foot of the Mt. Holyoke 
range to Belchertown and the East. After 
passing Hadley streets and crossing the bridge 
at the pond, bear to the left, the road to the 
right is discontinued. Shown by a red dotted 
line on the County map. By an examination 
of the County map it will be seen that you can 
take the direct road to Hadley and Amherst, 
which is intersected by four roads before you 
reach Amherst, turn to the right at any of these, 
as they all lead into the Bay road (if you turn 
at the road just before reaching the railroad 
crossing beyond Hadley, turn again to tlie right 
at the next road). Only one of these roads 
crosses the Bay road, and that is Middle street 
in Hadley. At the Bay road turn to the right 
to Northampton. Seveial railroad crossings.

OVER MT. TOM RANGE. 

Drive to Sniitlis Ferry as in No. 10, then, 
instead of crossing the lailroad keep on to the 
south, down the river about three and one-half 
miles; then turn to the I'ightat the road which 
is the first road leading to the light after leav- 
ing Smiths Ferry. Then keep the direct road 
(take no roads leading to the left), which will 
take you over the Mt. Tom range to Easthamp- 
ton, thence to Northampton. Sixteen miles. 

The mountain road is not difficult and the 
variety of scenery — river, meadow and moun- 
tain — makes the drive a very pleasant one. 
Near a railroad foi' the first seven miles and on 
the return drive. Shown plainly on the County 
map and nearly all of it is on the Northampton 
and Easthampton map. See No. 10.

ampton and Easthampton map. No railroad 
crossing. 



No. 48. 

ELEVEN MILES DRIVE. 

Drive to Roberts Meadow as in No. 2 ; turn 
here to the right and after driving about one 
and one-half miles, turn tu the right at the first

the track at Leeds. 



JVo. 49. 

TEN MILES DRIVE. 

Drive over Roberts Hill as in No. 2, and after 
crossing the bridge at the foot of the hill, turn 
at the first road to the right (before reaching 
Roberts Meadow village). This road will take 
you past the lower reservoir and home through 
Leeds. Shown on the Northampton and East- 
hampton map. No railroad crossing if you do 
not cross the track at Leeds. 



NORTH FARMS. 

Drive to the end of Elm street ; at the water 
tank bear to the right into North Elm street, 
then keep the direct road, soon crossing the 



26 

railroad ; soon after passing the Catholic cem- 
etery on your right, bear to the left and keep 
the direct road for about three-quarters of a 
mile, to where the road divides ; here bear to the 
right and you soon pass Florence cemetery on 
your left. About one mile farther on you reach 
North Farms, which consists of a dozen or more 
houses on one street on the hillside. In return- 
ing, at Florence cemetery bear to the left, and 
at the Catholic cemetery bear to the right. 
The road to the right at Florence cemetery will 
take you to Florence. Five miles each way. 
Shown plainly on the Northampton and East- 
hampton map. 

Or, drive to Florence hotel and turn to the 
right into Maple street, then keep the direct 
road, which is nearly straight to North Farms. 
One railroad crossing each way. 



No. ni. 
SIX MILES DRIVE. 

Drive as in No. 50, to where the road divides 
three-quarters of a mile beyond the Catholic 
cemetery ; turn here to the left, then keep the

Easthampton map), turn liei'e to the left and 
come home through Florence. 



EIGHT MILES DRIVE. 

Drive as in No. 51, until you cross the rail- 
road at " J. F. Warner's;" turn here to the 
light, crossing the raili-oad again within a few

CHESTNUT MOUNTAIN. 

Drive to North Farms as in No. 50, keep on 
over the hill to the foot of the hill where the 
road divides ; bear here to the riglit (there is a 
dwelling house at the left) go on about one mile 
through Mountain street and turn to tlie right 
at the first road (the road crosses where the red 
dotted line begins on the County map). A 
short distance after turning into this road you 
enter the woods, and after going about one- 
third of a mile, and shortly after you begin to 
descend, take the first road to tlie left. It is 
grass grown, and it is necessary to keep a look- 
out or you will pass it. Tlie ascent soon be- 
gins, and a drive of a short distance brings you 
to the summit of Cliestnut mountain or hill ; 
elevation 700 feet. I have marked this jilace 
on the County map by the letter C in red ink, 
in the southern part of Whately. The view 
from this place amply repays you for the 
trouble of reacliing it. It is the finest view 
that I know of from any point of so slight an 
elevation. From one point on tliis hill I have 
counted sixteen villages — Whately, Sunder- 
land, Amherst, No. Amherst, So. Amherst, 
Belchertown, Shutesbury, Pelham, Hadley, 
No. Hadley, So. Hadley, Hatfield, No. Hatfield, 
Northampton, Florence and Easthampton. 

Return by the grass grown road on which you 
came, to the foot of the hill ; turn here to the 
left (east), pass through the woods about two 
miles, and a few rods before you reach a small 
bridge, turn to the right. Go on through the 
woods about two miles farther until you cross 
the bridge over "Loch Malley" (the road is 
shown on tlie County map in the western part 
of Hatfield), and then a short drive brings you 
into the road from Northampton to Whately, 
a short distance above the Camp Meeting 
grounds ; turn to the right to Northampton. 
Fifteen miles. 



28 

Or, in returning, instead of turninc; to the 
right just before crossing the small bridge re- 
ferred to. cross the bridge and keep the direct 
road, which will take you into the road from 
Northampton to Whately ; turn to the right to 
Northampton. No railroad crossings except 
within two miles of Northampton. The dis- 
tance is about the same. 



Xo. 54. 

SIXTEEN MILES DRIVE. 

Drive as in No. 53, to the top of Chestnut 
mountain ; then instead of returning the same 
way that you ascended, keep the straight road 
over the hill and down the north side ; turn to 
the right just at the foot of the hill just before 
crossing the bridge. This road will take you 
into the road from Northampton to Whately at 
Westbrook. Turn to the right to Northampton 
at the foot of the hill below the mill. See re- 
marks after No. .56. Railroads as in No. r).3. 



jv'o. sr,. 
SIXTEEN MILES DRIVE. 

Drive as in No. .54, over Cliestnut hill, and 
at the foot of the hill cross the bridge and turn 
to the left ; after this, keep the direct road, 
bearing to the left where any roads lead to the 
right until you reach Mountain street, and you 
will come home through Mountain street and 
North Farms. See remarks after No. 56. One 
railroad crossing each way. 



JVo. 56. 

SEVENTEEN MILES DRIVE. 

Drive as in No. 55, over Chestnut hill, and 
after you cross the bridge at the foot of the 
hill, take the first road to the right and a drive 
of one mile brings you to Whately center. An 



29 

exceedingly fine view of the Connecticut river 
valley is obtained from the hill as you descend 
to Wiuitely center. At Whately turn to the 
right to Northampton. Railroads as in No. 53. 

The drive down the north side of Chestnut 
hill is steep and difficult, and no one should at- 
tempt it unless he is a good driver and knows 
his horse. This applies to the last three drives. 
If you wish to take the diives No. 54 and 56, 
from the north side of Chestnut hill without 
])assing over the hill, that side of the hill can 
be reached by reversing drive No. 55, i. e. drive 
through North Farms and Mountain street as 
in No. 53, but instead of turning to the right 
as in No. 53, keep the direct road, taking none 
of the several roads which lead to the left, pass 
down a hill, cross a brook, bear to the right 
and you soon come to the junction of roads 
close by the bridge, on the north side of Chest- 
nut mountain. 

Or, you can reach the noi'tli side of Chestnut 
mountain by taking the Whately drive (No. 6) 
as far as Westbrook. After crossing a bridge, 
turn to the left, ascend the hill, pass the mill 
(there is a fine water-fall here), keeping the di- 
rect road, and after crossing two more bridges, 
you will come to the junction of roads as above. 

Study these roads in Whately, all plainly 
shown on the County map, for no finer drives, 
no better or more shady roads, can be found 
than those around Chestnut mountain. West 
Whately and Westbrook. 



No. r.r. 
SIX MILES DRIVE. 

Drive to the top of Hospital Hill ; just after 
passing the gate to the Hospital grounds, turn 
to the right, then keep the direct road over the 
next hill and across the flat beyond; at the top 
of another small hill the road divides, turn to 
4

the left and again to the left at the first road, 
and a drive of half a mile brings you to Pine 
Grove school house ; turn here to the left to 
Northampton. No railroad crossing.

return by the lower road. Railroad crossings 
on the return drive from Easthampton. 



FOURTEEN MILES DRIVE. 
Drive as in No, 57, to Pine Grove school 
house, and then take the Park Hill drive from 
this point as in No. 29. Railroad crossings on 
the return drive. 



No. r,j. 
TO SOUTHAMPTON. 
Drive to Easthampton as in No. 28 ; pass 
through the Main street, and at the Stone Li- 
brary building turn to the right, then keep the 
direct road. Shown plainly by a red dotted 
line on the County map. This is a very pleas- 
ant drive, no unsightly views, few hills and 
those small, and no railroad crossing. Nine 
miles each way. If you drive to Easthampton 
as in No. 11, you save half a mile, but cross 
the railroad.

Jfo. 63. 

TO SOUTHAMPTON. 

Drive as in No. 11 or 28, until within a few 
rods of the bridge over the Manhan river, just 
before reaching Easthampton ; turn here to the 
riglit, then keep the direct road. Eight and 
one-lialf miles each way. 



J»o. 63. 

TO SOUTHAMPTON. 

Drive to Southampton as in No. 61, and re- 
turn by No. 62. To do this, in returning from 
Southampton, turn to the left at the cemetery. 
Seventeen and one-half miles. 



No. 64. 

FOURTEEN MILES DRIVE. 

Drive as in No. 35, to the village of Glendale, 
cross the river and take the first road to the 
left, which is about three quarters of a mile 
from the river ; turn again to the left at the 
first road (the right leads to Southampton), and 
the direct road will take you through West 
street, on the north side of Manhan river, to 
Eastliam])ton bridge, thence to Northampton. 
Eailroad crossings on return drive. 



tfo. 65. 

TO KIDD'S LOOKOUT 

Drive to Roberts Meadow as in No. 2 ; then 
keep the direct road (take no roads to the left) 
for about four miles, and when you reach the 
top of a long hill, the highest part of the road, 
turn to the left into the woods at a grass grown 
road. After driving one-third of a mile on 
this road, yon reach tlie summit of the hill . 
The road you have taken, before turning into 
the woods, is the old road to Chesterfield 



32 

(shown on the County map by ared dotted line 
beginning at Roberts Meadow) and is a fine 
road and a beautiful drive. The last mile be- 
fore turning into the woods, is a long hill, but 
the road is very good. I liave located Kidd's 
Lookout on the County map by the letter K in 
red ink. 

Tlie afternoon is the best time to get the view 
from this hill. There is little to be seen to the 
west, but the view to the east and south is very 
fine. You are at an elevation of 1400 feet, or 
450 feet higher than Mt. Holyoke and Mt. 
Nonotuck, which you overlook. No railroad 
crossing. Ten miles each way. 



Ifo. 66. 

AROUND HANGING MOUNTAIN. 

Drive as in No. 65, ro the lirst road leading 
to the left, north of Hanging Mountain (shown 
on the County map). This road, which is with- 
in a mile of Kidd's Lookout, descends a little to 
a bridge ; after crossing the bridge you will 
ascend for some distance and take the first road 
to the left (partly grass grown) and keep to the 
left. You will soon pass a i-eservoir, a beauti- 
ful sheet of water, with a picturesque old mill at 
the outlet. Keep the direct road now, and after 
going one mile and one-quarter (you will hnd 
an abundance of laurel on this I'oad), turn to 
the left, at the hrst road after passing the res- 
ervoir, and you soon pass a house on your left. 
A few rods beyond this house the road divides ; 
here turn and look back into the valley below 
you and see the finest water-fall in this region. 
At this division of the roads, keep the direct 
road (the road to your right leads down the 
hill to Westhanipton center, and the road to 
your left leads to Roberts Meadow) which will 
take you to Kingsley's bridge near Loudville 
(No. 4). Cross the bridge and you are on the 



33 

direct road to Northampton. A good road all 
of the way with the exception of three miles 
northwest of Hanging Monntain, and that is 
fair. The whole line is shown on the Connty 
map. Twenty miles. No railroad crossings. 



A'o. 07. 

CANADA HILL— ROCKING STONE. 

Drive to Kingsley's bridge (No. 4), cross the 
bridge and turn to the right ; you will soon 
cross a stream, pass one road to tlie right, cross 
the stream again and come to a division in the 
road ; bear here to the right, and cross the 
stream again. Now keep the direct road, pass- 
ing several roads to both the right and the left. 
After passing a hoiise on your right and one 
road to the right beyond it, you will cross the 
stream twice, and, as you enter another road, 
turn to the right. Keep the direct road, which 
bears a little to the left (take no roads to the 
right) until you reach a school house and sev- 
eral houses ; turn to the left at the school 
house into a lane. You will have to inquire 
here just the location of the rocking stone, 
which is near. Twenty-four miles. No rail- 
road crossings. 



-Yo. 68. 

POMEROY'S MOUNTAIN. 

Drive to Kingsley's bridge as in No. 4, then 
keep the direct road up the hill one and one- 
half miles to a school house on your right ; 
turn here to the left and drive one and one- 
quarter miles to the first road to the right, at 
the foot of a sharp descent ; turn here, and af- 
ter driving a little over half a mile, turn to the 
left into a lane, at the end of which are two 
gates. Pass through the one to the left. From 
here the road can be easily followed to the 



34 

summit. There are no very steep places in this 
road, but a gradual ascent all of the way from 
Northampton, and you must take time for it. 
Plainly shown on the County map. The road 
does not now run over the mountain as shown 
on the map, but only uj) the northern side. 
Elevation 1,233 feet. The summit of this moun- 
tain is covered with small timber. A tower has 
been built, from which an uninterrupted view 
can be had. No raili-oad crossings. 



HIGH RIDGE. 

Drive to Haydenville as in No. 13 ; then 
keep the straight road past the Brass Works 
for about one mile to the Williamsburg depot, 
instead of keeping the most travelled road 
which bears to the left to Williamsburg center, 
turn to the right. Keep this road three and 
one-lialf miles, and in this distance you pass 
over a high hill on Nash street, on which are sev- 
eral houses. After you descend this hill, keep 
the direct road (taking no roads to the right), un- 
til you come to a house on your left. This is 
about as far as you can safely drive. Leave 
your team here, and walk on the road a short 
distance, when you will see "High Ridge," 
which is the farthest high point you can see, 
nearly in front of you but a little to the left 
(left side of the road). If you leave the road 
on the left side, at about the point where you 
see the ruins of an old house, you will find the 
ascent quite gradual. There is no path to the 
summit. The whole country is open pasture, 
so that it is not important where yovr leave the 
road, but if you leave it as stated above, you 
will find the ascent more gradual than if you 
go farther along the road and nearer to the 
Ridge. The walk fiom where you leave your 
team to the summit is about one and one-half 



n 



St) 

miles. Aside from More's hill in the town of 
Goshen. High Ridge is the highest land in 
Hampshire County. Its elevation is 1,484 feet, 
530 feet feet higher than Mt. Holyoke, or as 
high as the highest point of Bethlehem street 
in the village of Bethlehem, in the White 
Mountains. It is not a difficult climb, and 
ought to be visited by more people than it is. 
The view is very extensive in all directions. 

Shown plainly on the County map in the 
northern part of Williamsburg. Twelve and 
one-half miles each way. Railroad crossings.

following as it does Pond Brook, which is of 
considerable size and of rapid fall. At the top 
of the hill, turn to the right to Norwich church

center ; after driving about one mile you will 
see More's hill to the left, about one-half mile 
from the road. You will have to walk to the 
summit. Return the same way. This summit 
is the higliest land in Hampshire County ; ele- 
vation, 1713 feet. The road from Goshen cen-

three routes to Berkshire County. The north-

Adams. The southern route through Hunt- 
ington, Blandford, Otis and Monterey to Great 
Harrington. The middle route through Ches- 
terlield, Worthington, Peru and Hinsdale to 
Pittsfield. The middle route is as easy and 
pleasant as any, and by it you enter the 
County at its County seat, which being cen- 
trally located and having good hotel accommo- 
dations, is a good place at which to make your 
headquarters (see Maplewood Hotel advertise-

WIIATELY GLEN 



Situated in the To\A/^n of SVhately, is one of 
the most attractive places for a day's trip in 
Western Mass. A brook of considerable size 
coming down bet\A^een high hills, passes 
through this glen in its rapid descent, nnaking 
a series of falls and pools of great beauty. At 
one part of the glen the hills recede a little 
from the brook, and here tables and seats have 
been arranged for picnic parties. The scenery 
in all of this region is very picturesque. Ar- 
tist Elbridge Kingsley has spent several sea- 
sons here, living in his car and spending his 
time in sketching and painting. Good accom- 
modations for teams.
